THank you for this! …
THank you for this! I’m trying to do some self diagnosis prior to the doctor…they are so quick to give pain meds and I wont take em!

treatment that …
treatment that suits the individual. exactly. Why must everyone just give up so much? It’s not good to give up!

false hope means …
false hope means that although fibro does wax and wane as suggested you usually have it for life..also that there are that many supposed cure claims out there it is easy to spend alot of money on ‘cures’ as a sufferer..false hope. yes try to stay positive but dont hold out for the miracle cure its about coping and treatment that suits the individual.ive had fibro for 9 years with being able to go out twice a week to being completely bed and housebound

)… my personal experience of fibro has been caused by biomechanical problems as a result of a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome,therefore my fibromyalgia is classed as ’secondary’ and no chiropractor can fix a gene defect.

Fibromyalgia in its …
Fibromyalgia in its very essence ‘waxes and wanes over time’, I too have had ‘remissions’ in the past to a point where I sold my wheelchair and bought a surfboard and went shouting from the rooftops that I was ‘cured’, the truth is sadly that there is no cure, and chances are that no matter what miracle cure people think they have found once you have this syndrome it will rear its ugly head again. I saw a chiropractor at the beginning and had xrays etc, bottom line is (continued

I had to go thru …
I had to go thru rehab too with excercises and stretching. In my case the pinched nerves weakened me and caused my FM. I had every blood test and scan and everything, believe me, it was FM. I could barely even hold my violin up or walk or think!!!!!! Now it’s almost all better. So don’t give up! I’m trying to help, what’s the big stink about “false hope”?

No i did have FM …
No i did have FM with tender points and everything! I’m not giving anyone false hope, and anyway what’s wrong with hope, it’s better than accepting being disabled and crying in bed for life. I had more than one pinched nerve. They used the Proadjuster on me, so it directly adjusts the vertebrae. I tell u it’s not coincidence! It’s science and technology. It’s not false hope, the other doctors usually want u to be like that so they can make more money and think there r no other options.

Secondly, if you …
Secondly, if you had FM as bad as I do, your chiropractor wouldn’t be your chiropractor!
You wouldn’t be able to be touched by anyone, anywhere!
So big difference between a pinched nerve and FM.
Pls don’t get ppl’s hopes up with false hope

I’m confused, it …
I’m confused, it sounds to me like you never had FM to begin with or got a false diagnosis because fail to see how a correction, even in your spine, is somehow going to reverse your tender points, on that …How many do you have?
Sounds to me like you never had FM to begin with but did in fact have a disability caused by a pinched nerve.

There’s hope…I know it’s hard but try to stay positive…I heard it’s good to name your fibro, then curse that son of a everytime it shows it’s ugly face

My chiropractor has …
My chiropractor has almost cured me of fibro. It was due to pinched nerves in my spine that showed on x-rays, you just have to go to someone who has experience with actually reading them! Hope this advice helps! Oh yeah and don’t say u have already had x- rays and the doctor did not find anything because you need to keep trying and pushing past the obstacles like I did. I could barely walk then, now I can run full speed!

My life in a …
My life in a nutshell; cut short at 27 years of age with the worst form of Fibro…The majority of my year is spent in bed in agonizing pain. My life has been utterly turned upseide down and it was all started by the intolerance and actions of an Insurance company that didn’t care about human life.
Just wrecking a life…They succeeded

Thank you for …
Thank you for posting this viedo! Kudos to you! And may love and light ease your pain. I was working full time for 18 months after being on disability for 5 years. My doc just put me out for several months due to everything being out of control again. Was off all my meds and now im back on 2. At least that is all it is right now and I will not allow it to be anymore!
I hope people can understand someday, but they truely never will unless they, themselves, experience it.
